A Walk In My Shoes

Good Morning everyone! I'm hoboclown.Flash Mc Cool tells us about his morning walk," This morning I decided to leave my imaginary haunts and go in town to work amongst the mortals. My new pair of shoes are still not broken in after three days and I decided to wear my old bobo comforts with the hole in the left shoe.I left my cave and warily eyed the surroundings to see if the thievin' racoon was back in the neighborhood.No sign of him as I pondered about an article about a rabid bobcat that attacked a man a few days ago.With this skittish frame of mind,I rounded a corner to take the train into town and saw a large cat sitting near the train's entrance- way.We locked eyes and as I approached the entrance the cat bolted like a zig-zag streak of lightning and beat it for the woods. I entered the entrance tunnel and exited near a fence.On the other side of the fence about fifteen feet away a whitetail deer caught my scent and did a 180 (or was it a 181 ? ) and jetted into the woods.Yes, a little adrenalin rush sharpened my senses. As I waited for the train,I savored the momentary view of the intensely bright, rising sun flickering through the canopy of leaves some 100 yards away. A slowly racing wind began to rustle gently about the leaves of some 60 or 70 trees as the flickering sunlight danced and sent messages to me.After all these years I'm still unable to decipher the sun's messages to me. A sudden,deafening blare of noise from a jet aircraft passing overhead broke the moment of reflection.I remembered that today is the birthday of a very dear friend.I could smell the lemony flavored vanilla icing on the cake that I hadn't bought yet. I then remembered the frantic telephone call I received yesterday from a dear friend with an impending mortgage foreclosure and sheriff's sale date. I tried to figure out how to get more mileage out of my play money to help that family.I finally got into the town's concrete jungle and as I sat peering out the window of a fastfood restaurant I saw a tough little weed sprouting out of the bits of gravel carefully placed around a city tree.Somehow the weed survived despite the bleak environment.I then looked down at the bottom of my left shoe and through the hole I saw the soul of my foot.I momentarily thought about plugging the hole up with some chewing gum and a drop of exceptionally krazy glue but I realized that if I did that, I would no longer be able to walk on my soul and feel the real meaning of Life . I still have the new pair of shoes back at the cave but right now the old pair of bobo comforts are feeling just fine! " ________ Flash wants everybody to have a great day until he gets back to you.
